I need to brush up on all the RR facts. But I thought for 2025 they removed the auto park assist feature.
This is what my shifter looks like

I also heard that the Park Assist was removed for 2025 but you do have the Park Assist button. It is the top left button that looks like I P I .
Curious what happens when you press it.

First press should give you a screen with 'Navigate to Parking' and 'Parking Assistance' buttons.
Second press should launch Parking Assist option if it is available.

I believe the 2025 model does not have park assist. Should be no problem. I’m sure if you can drive a raptor, you can park a raptor. Enjoy your new truck.
I have a 2025 and it has park assist but I don’t ever see it being used because i was taught how to drive many moons ago and still remember how to do it.

I learned to drive in my Dad's 1964 Chevy Biscayne with three on the tree and a clutch. Now parallel parking that 210.8 inches four-door "boat" with a manual steering gearbox and pitman arm (no PS) took a little skill! I was wondering more about why Ford would keep the electronic shifter and not put a mechanical one on the RR like the Lariat, for example. I am not familiar with the RR transmission. Is it electronic so it needs the e-shift stubby? As far as parallel parking goes, my wife had it on her then brand new 2012 Focus Titanium. She asked the salesman to demo it and he refused. He said it scared him to death. So he got his sales manager, who would not demo it, either. No one at the dealership would do it. So my wife had the Focus for three years and never used the Active Park Assist. We live rural and have no need for it. If she was driving in the city and needed to parallel park, then, as she said, she is married to someone who knows how to parallel park. She would call me to come do it for her. And, yes, I would drive the 30 miles or so one way to do that for her, which I guess is one reason we have been married 41 years. Now that I am old, BTW, it is not so easy anymore to park my 2021 F150 Lariat Supercab even with power steering, so I am moving to a Ranger Lariat, once Ford fixes the airbag recall and lifts the do not sell order. Now I am waiting for my dealer to tell me what build and price looks like for a 2026.

I had ordered a 2025 RR in shelter Green but I got tired of waiting so picked up a 2024 but with the standard decal the one I had on order had the full graphics and spray in bedliner and mudflaps. I just got an email last week saying it’s on its way to the dealer- Nucar in Plymouth, New Hampshire not sure if they have a buyer for it or not. And they will add the Ford tune if you want. I had mine add two weeks after I drove it home - 603-536-4521 - Nucar Ford

Well guys, I had an XLT on order since April. My truck was delayed for a bit for a QA hold. It's finally on its way to the dealership and should be there in 7-10 days.

But, on Friday I just read the news that ALL Rangers will be issued a stop sale if built prior to July 30th.

I became too impatient and decided to look at the Raptor again. It's always been a dream truck since they were released but just never wanted to spend that much money over the XLT..

Not a lot of Raptors sitting on dealers lots that aren't currently effected by the stop sale.

Found this azure grey and got it for a decent bit under MSRP!! Never saw one in person yet, but really liked the uniqueness in person.

This truck is amazing!
